- In. cutting the. hair it is a, desideration to obtain. an even. and: shaded cut, particularly when. thehair is re'quired'tobe cut short, and to. meet this requirement the invention provides. an attachment capable of use with any ordinaryhair clipper to act both as. agguide and a. gage. and. preclude any miscut by an unlooked for movement of the head: of; the one whose hair is beingcut.

i A further purpose of the invention is the. provision. of anarticle of the'characte'r aforesaid, which may be. easily and quickly applied to or detached from a hair clipper and which 'is light, sanitary and effective I for .the purpose designed.

While the drawings. illustrate a-v preferred embodiment of the invention it is to be understood that in adapting the means to meet specific needs and requirements the design. may be. varied, and. such other changes in the minor details of construction may be resorted to within the scope of the invention as claimed, without departing from the spirit thereof.

-" For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof, reference is to be had to the following description and the drawings hereto attached, in which,-

Figure 1 is a perspective View of a conventional form of ,hair clipper provided with an attachment embodying the inven-. tion,

Figure 2 is a plan view of the attachment,

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 2,

Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Figure 2, looking in the direction of the arrows, and

Figure 5 is a detail perspective view of an end portion of the clamp and holder, the

comb retainer being extended.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in the several views of the drawings by like reference characters.

The numeral 1 designates a well known form of hair clipper which has been selected to demonstrate the application of the invention which, as stated, resides in the attachment, which is removably fitted to the machine.

The attachment comprises essentially, a comb, a clamp, and a holder. The comb comprises a back 2 and teeth 3 extended from the back and preferably forming a part thereof. While the teeth 3 may be of the clamp and may be'disengaged thereany form, it is preferred to have the Same curved, as indicated most clearly in Figures 1' and3, and the back 2 is extended at each end-beyond the teeth 8 to provide projections t which are utilized as securi n means for retaining the comb when applied to the clampand holder. Y j

The clamp consists of a platej5 andjaws 6, the latter being disposed at the ends of the plate 5 and formed to engage opposite side portions of the frame of; the hair clipper 1 adjacent the. cutting mechanism, its-indicated most clearly; inlfigurejl. The plate 5, a nd jaws 6. preferably constitute 741 parts; of a. sheet. metal blank.

The comb holder .consists of a clip and retainers. at the ends of; the clip, Thecli comprises elements 7 and 8, bet-weenwhim the back 2 of the comb is received and held in, place, The elements. {and 8 consist of plates which, in the preferable construction, constitute a part of the blank, from which the clamp is formed, a portion of the blank being folded upon itself to lie. close against the plate 5 to form the element 7 and rebent and spaced from the part 7 to form the element 8. The length of the clip coincides with the length of the toothed portion of the comb, so as to expose the projections 4: and admit of the retainers engaging such projections. The retainers consist of tongues 9 which also form a part of the blank, and these tongues are located beyond the ends of the clip and are adapted to be bent about the projecting ends 4 of the comb back 2, and thereby. act jointly with the clip to hold the comb to the clamp. When the clamp is in position, the tongues 9 are bent to extend over the projections 4t and the terminals are further bent to extend over and about the rear edges of the projections 4, as indicated most clearlyin Figure 4, and in this manner the comb is securely held to from by bending the retainers sufficiently to release the projection 4 so that thecomb may be disengaged from the clip.

WYhen the attachment is applied to the hair clipper, the outer curved ends of the teeth 3 of the comb are disposed forwardly of the cutting mechanism of the clipper and when using the latter, with the attachment in position, it is moved over the head with the points of the teeth 3 in contact with the scalp and it will be readily understood that the attachment operates both as a comb and A device adapted to be used for removing a Wheel from an axle upon Which it is keyed comprising a body provided at its opposite ends With alined sockets of different sizes, and anvil plugs fitting in the sockets.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
